People with high life pressure often use aromatherapy to relieve anxiety, but not all aromatherapy has a soothing effect. Psychologists and aromatherapists said that choosing the right scent and usage method can effectively relieve anxiety.

 

Studies have shown that there are 3 main types of aromatherapy scents with anxiety-relieving effects: first, herbal scents, such as lavender and chamomile, which can regulate the nervous system, relieve tension, and are suitable for use before bed; second, woody scents, such as cedar and sandalwood, which have a calm and mellow aroma, can make people calm down quickly, and are suitable for use during work breaks or when feeling irritable; third, citrus scents, such as bergamot and sweet orange, which have a fresh and bright aroma, can improve low mood and relieve anxiety.

 

 

Experts remind that to relieve anxiety, avoid using strong and sweet scents (such as strong floral scents, chocolate scents), which will aggravate irritability.

 

In terms of usage, prioritize aromatherapy diffusers for diffusion, 20-30 minutes each time, keeping the room ventilated; you can also apply diluted essential oil to the temples and wrists, and massage gently for better soothing effect. If the anxiety is severe, aromatherapy can only play an auxiliary role, and you need to seek professional psychological counseling in time.
